  • Considering the emotional landscape in planning the local environment

    Iwona Markuszewska, Minna Tanskanen et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2025

    Landscape planning concerns with changes that can affect people who are attached to a local environment. The aim of this paper is to investigate how people emotionally bonded with landscape may perceive unwanted landscape changes and are engaged in decision-making in the early stages of landscape planning. In this context the paper presents the findings of the case study concerning the landscape in Koli region, in Eastern Finland. The data on emo…

  • Is a sustainability transition possible within the decision-support services provided to Finnish forest owners

    Open AccessTuomo Takala, Minna Tanskanen et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023Cited by: 3References: 8

    North-European decision-support service providers have been advised to look beyond wood production to respond to the diverse needs of forest owners, to maximise business opportunities and to fulfil the pluralist goals of society. However, change in the service sector has remained limited to date. Here, we applied a mixed-method critical discourse analysis to examine whether the discourses produced by Finnish forest owners (n=12) and consulting pr…

  • Discursive barriers to voluntary biodiversity conservation

    Open AccessTuomo Takala, Maria Brockhaus et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2022Cited by: 6References: 5

Data collection combined a pre…

    Conflicting interests make forests an inevitably political issue. We examine the political roles that Finnish forest owners take as decision-makers and citizens. Inspired by post-political theories of democracy, we examine forest owners’ aim of open, constructive treatment of the controversies between views, ideologies and actors. Our data consisted of a survey (n = 452) informed by an interview (n = 24). We applied a mixed-method critical discou…

From the results, we have identified not only th…
